What I'm Reading For Pride 🌈 Trans History Book Recs

[@sarcasticfilms1506]

Lgbtq+ history is something me and my friends are fighting to get it taught in my school. School keeps shutting us down but it hasn't stop us we actually are fighting for more lgbtq+ equality in our School right now even if its summer

[@vinci1834]

yeah because it's bullshit

[@eclipsesolar8345]

More lgbtq + equality ? Explain that.

[@abdullahkuzhan7247]

Vinci thank you

[@abdullahkuzhan7247]

Happy to hear your school is fighting against it

[@abdullahkuzhan7247]

@@ashkesslet1149 what does that have to do with racism? LGBTQ+ is not a race.

[@charcharcharlieee]

Happy pride! Thank you for the recommendations Jackson, I’ve been looking for new reading material

[@TransCowboyDad]

For non-binary books: gender failure by Ivan e coyote and Rae Spoon!

[@graydonoliver7885]

You're so well-spoken. These books are going right on my list, along with yours.

[@Himewna]

😭😭😭this is everything. I'm an enby historian (in training) so I've read a handful of these books, they're all so so good but also just a lot to take in. A few years ago I met the author of Lou Sullivan's biography and he signed my copy of the book!! Genuinely, he is so nice and put so much love & care into Lou's story. Trans history, and especially nonbinary history, directly intersects with the history of colonialism in a way that's really difficult to...untangle (not the word i'm looking for but hhh brain fart), if you even can at all. Gimme like 50 years to complete a phd and I'll get back to you 😂

[@alexharrow87]

Happy Pride! This is a great list! Some nonbinary recs I would add: - Gender Outlaw by Kate Bornstein (I consider this one nonbinary-adjacent since she makes a lot of points that resonate with me as a nonbinary person; also, her gender workbook is on my TBR right now) - How to be You by Jeffrey Marsh (I'm kind of in love with interactive workbook-style things like this)

[@toby________toby]

You're amazing Jackson! Happy Pride Month

[@ryesaac]

I'm definitely going to look into a few of these books! Also, for anyone who wants to learn LGBT history but might not have the time or access to these books- looking into podcasts could be a really good resource. I'd recommend "Making Gay History", which is very well researched with a lot of interviews, and "Always Here: An LGBT History podcast", which is more conversational but still informative. They both cover both gay and trans history, but if anyone has any recommendations for just transgender history I'd love to hear them.

[@willreed4239]

Trans Britain is a fascinating book about the history of trans rights in Britain with chapters written by the people involved!!

[@elirahamim2668]

I got transgender history for chanukah! i still haven’t gotten the time / energy to read it but after watching this i think i’ve been more motivated to read, so i think i will!

[@amethystloucks]

Non-binary non-fiction books I like - A Quick & Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns by Archie Bongiovanni, No House to Call My Home: Love, Family, and Other Transgressions by Ryan Berg, and Beyond Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak Out by Susan Kuklin. I'd add fiction, but this video was about non-fiction so I thought to leave fiction out.

[@selmadasschaf722]

Thank you so much for this video, my wishlist definitly grew quite a bit 🥰

[@owwmygooch]

Ive watched a few of your videos and i want to thank you for educating me 🤘your on your way to a nice beard 😀 thank you Jackson ✌

[@Rose-qd2bl]

I suggest the biography of Joan of Arc in The Great Lives Series by Mary Gordon. Joan was seen as transgressive at the time but she wore soldier's clothing to protect her virginity in the midst of the all male army she was leading. She did not dress as a man out of a desire to be man.

[@OctagonalGolbat]

Happy pride! 🏳️‍🌈 Always great to get some recs that aren't fiction - reminds me that we exist in real life too. Now, if you'll excuse me I have to email my library 😉

[@mariannetfinches]

I love your book recommendations! Whipping Girl taught me so much 🙂 Thanks for that one! One of the best books I've read is Descent of Man, by NB sculptor Grayson Perry. It's semi autobiographical, a bit manifesto-y, and is so insightful about the way we raise AMAB kids, and the effect this has on all of them. If I could make 1 book compulsory reading for 10-13 year olds, it would be this

[@chelseaduncan8883]

Yay happy pride month!!!! But my mom signed me up for an all girls camp that last five years for all of summer right after I told her I'm trans :( I might just be being my very emotional self right now but I'm crying. None of my friends believe I'm trans (like a few do ?) my mom does not believe I'm trans because I used to wear pink dresses when I was five (she thinks) but what I remember is I only would wear sweat pants and long shorts when I could dress myself. Also I comment and complaint in the comment section a lot it's probably really annoying sorry for that or maybe you don't even notice I do idk Are complaining comments annoying? 🌮

[@cabejackson7518]

Clayton Duncan hi I hope you’re doing well

[@koutashinji]

Well timed. I'm just now trying to get back into reading! 😅

[@lexiforeman5230]

Yesss! I love these videos from you! I found one of my favorite books from the last one: Lily and Dunkin.

[@mikeh5399]

Can you make a video on the history of trans KZbinrs? I feel like it hasn't been properly documented even though trans KZbin helped so many people learn about LGBT2QIA+ history and discover who they are.

[@therobonator6619]

heck, someone should do something about the internet as a means of exploring and learning about gender identity

[@FriendJamie]

Awesome recommendations! I hope you have a wonderful pride 😁🏳️‍🌈

[@SimplyAWitch9]

Love the video. Honestly i wis more of the focus of pride was history ... also ps. You're really activating my thing for short nerdy guys right now haha

[@arisymphony]

WAIT IS THAT WHY MY CITY'S PRIDE MARCH IS IN OCTOBER

[@starpasta]

Happy Pride month!

[@numberonedad7924]

i read transgender history a little while ago! it was a great book and i learned a lot. it also goes a bit into how trans history and feminism were related

[@Thaiehvdkak]

Happy pride!

[@robertrist2300]

Nice beard and I glad you are ok and another good video to and you are the best take care till your next video

[@robertrist2300]

@sonoki82 Jackson bird is a great person and a good hearted guy to me and proud to call him a Friend

[@robertrist2300]

@sonoki82 a internet follower Friend and I am saying I look into finding good in people and back up a human being by there heart not sex creed or color but From there heart but it still can lie to us and be mean off to but my heart is good and I go by my heart and I still can be wrong in life but I am the who has to live with my heart no else but thank for your comments

[@genusobscura9553]

A book I recently read and definitely recommend is "Self Organising Men" - it's an anthology and it looks at how various trans men have experienced and grappled with their masculinity. I'm lending my gender therapist a copy because she won't let me start T until I come to terms with the possibility that I may end up cis-passing (I'm non-binary)

[@aliselman3834]

Fiction not history but: I Wish You All the Best is a great nonbinary read!

[@bees_alastair_at_you4099]

Ali Selman Thanks! I’ve been looking for a good nonbinary read being a demiguy myself.

[@kinkly777]

Who is this by?

[@aliselman3834]

I Wish You All the Best is written by Mason Deaver

[@jonburdine9675]

Thanks for the content as someone who is transitioning from male to female I like seaing transgender you tubers

[@MrsMillers]

Happy Pride!!!

[@ardenboshier7431]

"Trap Door: Trans Cultural Production and the Politics of Visibility" is a good anthology mostly focusing on transfeminine people of colour (though there are transmasc writers in there too) in the USA over the past 60-70 years. Skews academic, but incredible and powerful nonetheless. Has excerpts by Miss Major and Cece McDonald as well as dozens more 🏵️🏵️

[@emilyhall9244]

I'm curious about the video you mentioned about the interview you did can you post a link to it please

[@therobonator6619]

I haven't read it, but I saw in a bookstore that there's a book called SEX SCIENCE SELF: a social history of estrogen, testosterone and identity that might be interesting to someone

[@artifedex]

I have the Transgender History book by Susan Stryker! It's SO good! And now have a bunch of new books in my amazon wish list

[@swilson6580]

Happy Pride Month! I love you so god damn much!!

[@ibnorator]

love you so much for this thank you!!

[@brazilianhusk3003]

I would like to recommend Viagem Solitaria by João W Nery (I do believe that this book was translated to English). It tells the story of the first out trans man in Brazil and all of his history transitioning during the Military Dictatorship

[@lyadmilo]

If you're a poetry type Don't Call Us Dead by Danez Smith is probably the best poetry collection I've read in years and they're a Black non binary person.

[@MichaelMMorganm984638]

I will be in Traverse City, MI for Pride!

[@paulakempe3670]

Happy Pride Month, Jackson! I'm old and Jorgenson, is with a hard "J."

[@evag-s5177]

I like "Queer: A Graphic History" especially if you're looking for a quicker read.

[@CarqlineCupcake]

I recently read a YA novel called I wish you all the best. It’s a pretty standard lgbtq+ ya novel with a non-binary narrator and it was really good!

[@kinkly777]

I've read a few books that claim to be about non binary gender people but they tend to be about binary trans people in non western societies. I've been searching for a story about someone like me - A non binary trans feminine person who to reduce dysphoria needs to appear as a bit of both genders at all times. Presenting as a Bearded Lady seems an almost impossible task. I Hope to find someone like me. Either in story form or a real person the gender Outlaw books are pretty cool for non binary people but I don't remember much of those books.

[@TO5TADA]

Heck yes all are going on my TBR. Thanks my dude

[@sarmegwantwatchmovie]

Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe is a fantastic nonbinary graphic novel

[@honesttheft]

I'm trans and in a Christian School and dude idk how to do my own thing? Everyone judges so much

[@ajaxtanner874]

bare minimum companies *cough* chick-fil-a and victoria's secret *cough*

[@rhianaeverest0808]

Welp I've gotten two of the books, the first one and Black on Both Sides

[@marmaladeatkins]

Well that’s more added to my Goodreads want to read section, then! Now if only there was more time in life to actually get reading done....

[@robertrist2300]

Happy 4th of July good guy

[@freshairkaboom8171]

Hey Jackson. I recently learned that one of my family members was gender fluid, and I don't have time nor energy to sit down with them and ask them about it, so I thought I'd ask you instead. When I think of personal gender, I think of seperation from your assigned gender. You are in a sense, not your original gender, right? My question is, why? Why, when you look at a woman, do you have to see a certain behavior type? And why, when I call myself a man, can I not put on a pretty dress and lipgloss? My question is basically, why did we choose to seperate into tons of genders, instead of just expanding what it means to be a man or woman? Is it really said by gender-positive communities that men and women have a set way of behavior? Masculine for men and feminine for women? Because I find that kind of limiting. I'm a man, but I'm not very convential. I get very emotional, love snuggling teddy bears, and I love cleaning the house and being the little spoon. So why can't that be part of being a man? Why must people seperate themselves from men when they behave in a-typical ways? I still consider myself a man, just not hyper-masculine. Do you think that in a sense, calling any deviation from convential man behavior a seperate gender, is kind of rude to CIS-gendered people? That's like saying that just because they don't conform to the large group's behavior, they can't be part of the large group anymore. Or are you comfortable with two people from different genders behaving in completely similar ways? If so, what then seperates them?

[@Beveybumblebee]

Why was I never told you uploaded

[@andrewwright7855]

happy pride! also i got this add kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGi5qn2Bi6enbck im happy i guess?
